Gender Stereotypes In Communication

Feminist: the person who believes in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. Sexual stereotypes are deeply imbedded into today’s society. Ideals of the gender roles are passed down from generation to generation, creating a gap between what is socially acceptable for a woman to do and what is expected of a man. One thousand years ago humans chose dominance by physical capability, simply because it was essential for our survival, but the world has evolved. One thousand years ago physical strength was the most important part of survival for human beings. Men in general are physically stronger therefore it made sense to have a man lead. The world humans live in has evolved and is no longer run by the physically entailed, but by the most intelligent or creative(Adichie). Though this world has evolved, the gender expectations and stereotypes have stayed the same. Sexual stereotypes in America limit men and women to abide with,by the expectations of masculinity and feminism, create a sense of shame for women, and create a gap in today’s job industry.

Living in 21st century United States, being a much more liberal and inclusive environment than prior decades, gender “roles” and their normalities are being severely questioned and challenged. Americans have defined and established gender stereotypes that have become a critical part of how we look at gender roles and create biases about each gender. Stereotypes assume people who 'belong ' to a group will appear, behave, look, speak or sound like others from that group. The values, norms, practices, behaviors and traditions associated with the group are shared by all members of the group. For example, gay men are promiscuous, women are maternal and men don 't show emotions. Stereotypes are often dismissive, negative, and they are sometimes

A sport is an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. Sports originated in early history as males only, and was often used to see which male was more dominant. In today’s society sports have a different meaning and is played by both genders, but still holds a mentality of superiority. In this essay, I will be arguing the Social Constructs of Masculinity in Sports in the language and the actions used when performing these activities through both genders and how some actions are acceptable for one gender and not for the other. Using Laurel Richardson’s article Gender Stereotyping in the English Language, and X: A Fabulous Child’s Story by Lois Gould. The article and story will help distinguish the use of words in our society and how they are incorporated in sport and how the actions of a person that does not fit the social standard faces repercussions for their actions.

Although black and women were in bad condition in the past many decades, their conditions had been improved over fifty years. First, in the election of the presidency in 2008 and 2012, it had been first that the person of that president is the first black president who called Barack Hussein Obama II in the United States history. Second, even though women haven’t been a president in United States history, Grace Ethel Cecile Rosalie "Gracie" Allen ,Gracie Allen, who had been a first women president candidate in 1940; and in recent year of 2016, there is a lot of women president candidate. Third, black and women even also have success in the Supreme Court judges. Among the nine judges in 2009, there is one woman and eight men include the one black

Frequently, children are barraged with figurines portraying gender stereotypes for girls and boys. Walking in the aisle at the store I saw a Popeye the Sailorman collector’s item. I realized that just like the toys in a retail store, television shows also emphasize the male as a protagonist character. He is always the brute strong hero who has to save the frail and helpless woman. Children take these messages depicted by these creators and apply it to their reality. With these interpretation they get an idea of what the expectations and behavior of their specific gender roles should be. However, the social construction of gender does not just stop when you are a child. This shows the power that advertisement and the media have on social interaction and construction. By observing both the formal and informal messages and examples given by our everyday society, gender stereotyping it becomes a

Fans of the reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians received some shocking news last night when Kim Kardashian revealed she is pregnant. The baby news was announced during a mid-season preview of the upcoming second half of the hit reality television series. "I just got the blood test back and I am pregnant," Kim revealed to her sister Khloe. The new baby will be Kim and Kanye West's second child; their first born North will be two years old on June 15th. "Kim and Kanye told North the news together, and they explained as best as they could that she was going to have a brother or sister. They made sure to tell her before they announced the news on the reality show," a source told Hollywood Life. Kanye and Kim just celebrated their one-year anniversary last month, and the rapper didn't shy away from revealing his love for Kim on social media. "Kim, I'm so happy to be married to the girl of my dreams... I love you and Nori so much!!! I would find you in any lifetime," West wrote on Twitter.

The disrepair of our society is evident through the observation of a select few individuals. These individuals feel entitled to choose their identities, in gender and sexuality. These dissenters feel as if they deserve reimbursement for our inability to accept them. They believe that, due to their regard as outcasts, they are unable to pursue a whole and happy life.

You are such a good cuckold phone sex boyfriend. I love the way you sit there with your nose pressed against the shower door as you watch your sexy wife shower. Once I’m out of the shower you eagerly dry me off and lotion me from head to toe. I see that you have laid out that sexy lingerie set that you got me for our anniversary. We both agreed on my wearing that sexy dress, the one that hugs my body in all the right places, knowing that it makes your cock swell to see me in it. While we finish getting me dressed, putting on makeup, and other finishing touches, you beg me to tell you where I am going and with whom. You know that is against our rules so I just continue to get ready for my night out. You try asking for a final time. I look at you lovingly, kiss you on your forehead and tell you, “None of your business.” I stroke your face and say, “Now, what I expect is for you to be sitting here waiting by the door, like a good boy, when I get home.”

Once again, she finds herself in the middle of a crowded high school hallway, surrounded by strangers on all sides. Girls glare at her as if she was an enemy. She probably is, considering she is the new girl entering their school from somewhere else. Guys stare at her like she’s fresh meat, which she is. Some of those guys stare at her like they want to hunt her down, as a predator does to its prey. She keeps on walking down the corridor, keeping her head down with her hood covering half of her face. Having her earphones on and just listening to music, pretending as if they didn’t exist.

I feel much the same you as you do about this subject. Perceptions concerning women have changed drastically over the past 100 years but there are still people that cling to gender stereotyping. I whole-heartedly agree with your comments and especially with your closing comment that “with time and an open mind” we will see that the effects of negative cultural stereotypes concerning gender will continue to decrease and eventually be eliminated.

Do you find yourselves consciously or unconsciously change what you think about something because you learn that others do not share your opinion?

What proposal can be done to alter the views of the multimedia towards it viewers? I propose a more direct step for one hiring a more diverse staff of these magazine corporations that models the actual face of America. Another would be to bring the relevance of the clearly unsaid problem in the fashion industry. Yes, it is an industry based off looks but I believe it poses a problem when the beauty is characterized as only one specific look. This is damaging in that to the public for instance young women who glorify the media and models themselves off what s seen as right they will lose self identity and will not recognize their own beauty. This leads to many alterations and is one of the reasons why plastic surgery and cosmetics is a booming industry .In 2011 alone America wasted 10.4 billion dollars on cosmetic surgery (Dicker).

Currently, at my school, they do not separate guys and girls in school. I agree that they should separate guys and girls in school. Do you think that they should separate guys and girls in school? I thick girls mature faster than guys do. I thick girls are faster thinkers than guys. I thick girls are smarter than guys.

Despite various changes in the workforce, it is apparent that gender stereotypes are not extinct and are still very powerful generalizations. Through this reflection paper I hope to successfully analyze gender stereotypes and the impact they have on the workforce. Gender stereotypes influence our judgment and assessment, which ultimately leads to individuals treating women and men differently. As a society we continue to uphold a social structure that favors patriarchy and brands gender specific characteristics as opposed to removing gender from the equation and simply classifying leadership traits.

How women are perceived by others, and how women perceive themselves, impacts their leadership roles in the work place. Stereotypes and gender biases are themes women have been dealing with for centuries. How women are perceived by social medial and television have been influencing how they are treated by men, and how they view themselves when it comes to taking a leadership role in their organization. According to Omega Institute (2012), “The rapidly shifting landscape of new media and technology, including reality television and celebrity culture, continue to reinforce gender stereotypes” (p. 1). This leads to men still growing up viewing women as home makers versus bread winner. With more women entering leadership roles in the work place they lack the respect from men due to how these men have grown up to know the typical role of a man and woman. Men tend to feel belittled due to the gender stereotypes seen on television, and this leads to women struggling to succeed as a leader with the lack of support from their male counterparts. Lack of confidence with women in the workplace is also influenced and effected by how women are perceived in social media and television. According to Steele (2005), “Exposure to stereotypic commercials persuade women to avoid leadership roles” (p. 276). As young women grow up seeing the typical gender stereotypes they lack ambitions to break the mold and
